In November, Bhutan will have several new luxury accommodation options with the opening of Six Senses Bhutan — part of a collection of five boutique lodges set in the western and central valleys of Bhutan.
In the capital will be the largest of the properties, Six Senses Thimphu. The second is Six Senses Punakha, (pictured above) in the low-lying valley of Punakha.
Towards central Bhutan in the glacial valley of Phobjikha is Six Senses Gangtey, in a region famous for being the winter residence of black-necked cranes.
Traveling further east, Six Senses Bumthang is located in an evergreen pine forest.
The fifth resort in the collection is Six Senses Paro, at high elevation overlooking the Paro Valley.
The Thimphu, Paro and Punakha resorts will open in November 2018 with reservations now being accepted for stays starting on November 3, 2018. Gangtey and Bumthang resorts open in early 2019.
General Manager Mark Swinton said, “There is so much to explore in this mystical Himalayan Kingdom, with its cultural, natural and spiritual beauty making a compelling choice. With the nation’s driving force being Gross National Happiness, the Kingdom has protected its identity while progressing with the world. Compassion is a way of life in Bhutan and it extends to the protection of nature and sustainability. Six Senses Bhutan shares these values and has become an integral part of the local fabric.”
Each property will have its own Spa & Wellness Centre with a wide range facilities and treatments including hot stone baths in Thimphu and Bumthang; pyramid meditation room and swedana treatment at Gangtey, a heated outdoor pool at Punakha; or treatment in a spa room overlooking the ruins in Paro. The focus on well-being is emphasised with programs that include Six Senses Integrated Wellness in Punakha to start with, Sleep With Six Senses and Eat With Six Senses.
